The primary object of the invention is the provision of a holder of this character, wherein a soap stick and applicator therefor will be inclosedwhen not in use, thus protecting the same and "yet making them readily and easily accessible for use, the appli cator being in the form of a rubber sponge fastened in position for the convenient handling thereof to enable the latheringof the face'of the user, the soap also being held f or its free application to the, face for shaving PI 'P a s g Anotherobject of the invention is the provision of a holder of thischaracter which is extremely simple and durable in construction, enabling the soap and applicator to be conveniently: held 1 in a compact manner, and s also which is inexpensive to manufacture.)

; With these and other objects in view,'the

invention consists the features ofconstrucand arrangement of parts tion, combination 'as will be hereinafter fully described, illusv trated inthe drawing and-pointed out in the claims hereunto appended; f V In the. accompanying drawing? Figure 1 isfa vertical longitudinal sec tional view throughthe holder constructed in accordance with-the invention, showing the soap stick and applicator-held therein; 'Fig. ,2 is a fragmentary side elevation partly section, showin'g the'applicator re .moved from the holder'and fastened there- .'on for use;
